Let's compare that to an original, attached to a 38-116XX:

I was wrong, it does say "Built For" instead of "Built Especially For".
I've seen a few 38-116 sets with the tag, and they all had a rough-looking font used for the owner's name as the example above which reads "MR JOE STRAKA". I've never seen one with the fancy, calligraphy type font as used for Pardee's name.
This wasn't my set - I took the photo when I electronically restored this set for someone several years ago, so I never removed the tag and looked on the back to see if there was any additional engraving.
Oh, and I moved this thread to Philco Home Radios since we aren't discussing an electronic restoration in this thread.
